Ask HN: Why aren't Paradise Papers discussed more on HN?

4 points by q-base ↗ HN
Why are there so few histories related to Paradise Papers on HN? Are people discussing them elsewhere, are they uninteresting, nothing to debate or something forth?

Because HN is dominated by 'free-trade' proponents to whom Paradise Papers seem like the natural way of doing business (i.e. taxation is akin to socialism).

Just watch how they treat this comment now.

I dunno... my experience has been nearly the opposite. Lately HN seems dominated by pro big-government / tax-and-spend types who want State involvement in, and regulation of, pretty much everything.

FWIW, when I had the audacity to say "Taxation is Theft" in one thread on that topic, my comment was quickly down-voted into oblivion. So don't think HN is some bastion of libertarianism. Maybe at some time in the past, but not now.
